I managed to bring in a sandwich and some carrots today—slowly getting it all together and formulating a bus “routine.” I had a meeting in the conference room in which I interviewed for this job on August 15th. Awww. Blurbs—one funny, the other interesting: A New York lawyer has failed in his effort to deduct … Read more
I caught the 8:25 bus this morning, and it was uneventful other than the fact that it wasn’t one of the regular buses used in the fleet. There were a lot fewer seats, as they weren’t facing the front of the bus, like the regular bus that is used. Instead, there was just seating along … Read more
We were up at around 9:00 this morning, and I fixed waffles, eggs, and corned beef hash for breakfast, and we had coffee, which was 9/10 regular coffee and 1/10 Highlander Grogg (caramel, butterscotch and hazelnut). It was all good. I made a very weak attempt at learning Chinese. It’s hard! I spent two or … Read more
Morning BUStle Once again, I caught the 7:25 Method Road CAT bus, which once again arrived two minutes early. I’m keeping a mental spreadsheet of average arrival times to miniminze my future waits. Once again, up by Western Boulevard, that very tall woman boarded the bus, once again with a convenience store cup of coffee, and today I noticed … Read more
Today’s BUStle (Inbound) I caught the 7:25 Method Road CAT bus, which is right at the end of the driveway entrance to our townhouses.

Did the same with my home equity loan payment. Stopped my first-of-the-month transfer … Read more
I slept in this morning, allowing myself a full eight hours sleep. Yay! I added a link to my Twitter stream off to the right in the links column. I did three loads of laundry today—one whites, one colors, and one sheets (you know you needed that much detail!)—straightened up (my house, not me) some, hung up … Read more
Today was a much better bus day, since I got off to an earlier start, which allowed me to catch a bus that actually had plenty of seating available—as opposed to yesterday’s butts-to-nuts situation. I didn’t mention that yesterday afternoon, I attended my first meeting, which was actually training (on the Drupal system), presented by … Read more
Regretfully I’m going to have to make this short to catch up, to keep from getting too far behind. Suffice it to say that today was my first day in the office at my new job, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a very nice day, with my manager organizing a little breakfast-type gathering … Read more
I had nine glorious hours of sleep last night. Yay! I had waffles and eggs for breakfast today. It’s been forever since I’ve had waffles. I had an early afternoon workout, and in preparing to leave for the gym discovered that I’ve lost my water bottle. In the car, I confirmed I hadn’t left it … Read more
